Mule Riding...

So...when we got to Big Clayton and Granna's house, we always go for a mule ride! Clayton LOVES it...she always gets to see cows, horses, and donkeys. Big Clayton always stops and tries to "talk" to all of the animals. Last night, she was ready to go on her ride because she wanted to see the "aminals" as she was calling them! She was so excited! She rode in the back with Ca-Ca and I most of the time. We stopped to see the cows and she kept telling us they were "tuck in the fence." It was really cute! That was her way of reassuring herself that they would not come to get her. At one point, we pulled off the main black top road and saw some deer. We ask Clayton what they were, and she replied, "Reindeer, Reindeer!" She then went out to say, "Reindeer eat they dinner, corn!" Wow...we were very impressed with that! Our little baby isn't a baby any more...she is a little girl! She can express herself in sentences and comes up with things we have no idea how or why she remembers them!!!

I will add a couple of pictures as soon as I load them on the camera!!!

On a side note, we went to Granna's school yesterday to let Granna show her off. After roaming all around the school and walking into random classrooms to sit at desks and wave at kids, we went back to Granna's room. Clayton was trying to climb in one of the "plastic" chairs that all schools have...you know, the ones with the holes in the middle...you see where this is going, yet?!!? Well, Clayton's way of climbing into chairs is to get her upper body in it and pull herself up with her arms around the chair...so, she started climbing in the chair and then started yelling "I tuck, I tuck...hep, Granna, Mommy, Daddy, I tuck!" Granna was nearby, so she tried to get her head out, and bless her heart, she was really stuck!!! Luckily, Mark was there and was able to turn her head sideways, so she could get her OUT!!! Unfortunately, I couldn't get a picture because it was too awful at the time!!! She was SOOO upset!!! For the very few minutes that her head was stuck, I kept thinking, "Oh, no, we are gonna have to get a saw or something to get her head out!!!" Luckily after a few tears and getting to sit in the chair and type on the computer, she was healed!!! (One more note...her new favorite thing to do is play "I tuck, hep, I tuck" so it wasn't uncommon for her to start yelling that before we actually realize that she wasn't "playing" this time!!!
